Our company was founded in 2010 with the passion to attain high end achievements in Food processing and Grain processing sectors. Gradually it is stepping to its next stage with the guidance of its Directors and dedicated employees. Further its growth is not limited to cover it in a year or two; it is preparing itself strongly for its impeccable establishment in this competitive market. JFM is now under the process of setting up its networks in main locations of India.

Riceoutlook: Let directly start with the Heat Treatment Technology for Rice Bran. Please share with us in detail about the heat treatment technology for Rice bran which you have introduced recently?

With units from 200 kg/h to 5000 kg/h, the continuous Revtech technology is based on 3 simple principles:

The product is transported by vibration in a spiral tube, which enables a very good mixing and an excellent homogeneity, all the particles receiving the same treatment.

This stainless steel spiral pipe is heated by the electricity flowing in the wall of the pipe (high impedance tube). The product is then heated up by the contact of the hot tube. The excellent heat exchange (90% of the energy is transferred to the product) enables to get a very low energy consumption (around 80 kW to roast 500 kg/h).

The atmosphere is controlled inside the tube. Steam can be injected to pasteurize, cold and dry air can be used to dry and cool down…

Riceoutlook: How this technology will commercially benefit the Rice Millers globally?

Very good mixing (frequency of the vibrations: 15 Hz – 3 g acceleration)

Very little variation in residence time

The main operating parameters can be changed very precisely:

Temperature (+/- 1°C)

Residence time

Atmosphere inside the tube

Riceoutlook: Are you the only manufacturer and seller of Heat Treatment Technology for Rice Bran in India? Also apart from India you are supplying this technology to which countries?

T. Srinivasan; Yes, Revtech is the only manufacturer and seller of Heat Treatment Technology for Rice Bran not only in India but in all over the world.Following are some of Countries in which we supplied this technology.

Riceoutlook: Now coming to your Sorting Machine,as you claim that your Sorting Machine is 4th generation sorting technology for Basmati and Non-Basmati Rice, We would like to ask that how do you classify different generations of Sorting Technology?

T. Srinivasan;

Product falling system

Optical viewing system

Processing system

Ejecting system

Riceoutlook: How does this 4th generation sorting technology for Basmati and Non-Basmati Rice means is it different from other conventional sorting technology?

VISION 500

T. Srinivasan; Conventional sorting technology is based on the parameters of the products to be rejected. Our 4th generation sorting technology works on real time picture analysis technique, in which the type of reject items can be selected from the display screen for rejection. Each and every grain is completely analyzed about its size, shape and colour and the values are again checked for final rejection process.

Riceoutlook:How does this new technology benefit the rice producers?

Low power consumption

High production capacity

Very concentrated reject

Very less maintenance cost

Riceoutlook: Let’s now discuss something about your Bundle Packaging Machine as well. What is the function of Bundling Machine for Rice Industry and how is it beneficial for the Rice Millers?

What is Bundling Machine?

Bundling machine: Equipment for vertical bundling of solid, granulated, refined or powdered products, in different packaging formats of one column back entrance, two column back entrance, three column back entrance, one column lateral entrance and two column lateral entrance.

What are the benefits of Bundling machine?

Low labour cost

Low maintenance cost

Standardization of the bundles, all of them have similar shape and size

Due to similar sizes they are perfect to palletize

100% sure that the quantity of the bags in the bundles, as a sensor is counting them

Riceoutlook: How do you position your products in the Indian Rice Industry? (Please provide us your revert on this question product / technology wise discussed above)

India is the second largest food producer in the world after China. It’s estimated that food-processing industry in India will double up over the next decade. Indian food processing sector is among the largest sectors in terms of production, consumption, export and growth prospects. Also, the government of India has made the commercialization of the country’s food processing sector the first priority, with various fiscal incentives. So, there’s a vast scope for the companies willing to invest in the food processing & packaging sector- a sector that’s growing 15%-20% annually. Increased literacy rate, change in lifestyle, and mass media promotion are amongst the major contributors to the growing demand of processed food in the country.In Indian rice industry we can position our products for the following three categories.

Sorting of rice

Treatment for the rice bran

Packing the sorted/treated rice

For sorting the rice, our Advance optical sorting technology will help to sort the rice by recognizing each individual rice based on its parameters and thus giving a very concentrated final rejection.

Treating rice bran using our heat treatment technology will give the advantages mentioned below which is very essential for millers all over the world.

Finally when coming for packing, more than 75% of Brazilian market is for rice industry. With the new concept of bundling machine rice can be packed in different packaging formats with less labour cost and low maintenance cost.

Riceoutlook: Are you planning to introduce any new technology in the market?

Our company is planning to set up its network in northern, eastern, western region in the forthcoming years. Our company will set up a test centre in Chennai in the nearest future in order to conduct trials on various food grains at its premises. Our company will be planning to set up its network in Asian countries by 2015 for food processing and grain processing machines.

We Thank Mr.T.Srinivasan for devoting his valuable time for our portal and wish him all the best for his coming projects.
